How to cancel Taxrise and reclaim control of your tax matters in canada
Understanding Taxrise and why you might want to cancel
Taxrise is a private tax resolution service that assists Canadian taxpayers in negotiating with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and managing outstanding tax balances. The company offers services including case evaluation, negotiation of payment arrangements, and administrative support throughout the resolution process. However, if you enrolled with Taxrise and now question whether the service meets your needs, you are in a position to take action.
Many Canadian taxpayers discover that Taxrise's fees exceed the value delivered, that a licensed accountant provides better guidance, or that the service conflicts with direct CRA advice. At Yafee, we recognize that cancelling a tax resolution service feels urgent when you are already managing tax stress. This guide walks you through every cancellation method, your consumer rights under Canadian law, and what to expect after you cancel. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel unwanted services and reclaim their financial control.
Why cancelling Taxrise matters
Cancelling immediately stops future recurring charges from draining your bank account or credit card. Each billing cycle you delay represents another unauthorized charge accumulating. Understanding your cancellation options ensures you do not remain locked into a contract you no longer need or want.
Common reasons canadian taxpayers cancel Taxrise
You may cancel because the service proved unnecessary, a tax professional advised you to discontinue it, or you discovered better value elsewhere. Some customers report that Taxrise's negotiation programs failed to deliver promised results, or that fees did not justify the outcome. Regardless of your reason, cancellation is your contractual and consumer right.
Your consumer rights under canadian law
Canadian federal and provincial consumer protection laws grant you powerful tools when dealing with subscription services and tax resolution companies operating in your province.
The consumer protection act and cooling-off periods
Under provincial Consumer Protection Acts and the federal Competition Act, you have the right to cancel a service contract within a statutory cooling-off period if the contract was signed remotely (online, phone, or email). Most Canadian provinces allow you 10 to 14 days to cancel without penalty or justification. If Taxrise operates across Canada, the consumer protection law of your home province applies to your purchase.
Furthermore, if Taxrise's marketing made false or misleading claims about results, success rates, or the ability to eliminate tax debt, you may have grounds to dispute charges under deceptive marketing provisions. The federal Competition Act prohibits false or misleading representations in advertising and commerce. Consequently, if you relied on misrepresented claims when signing up, you have grounds to cancel and request a refund.
The Taxrise money-back guarantee
Taxrise publicly advertises a "100% Resolution Money-Back Guarantee" if they fail to enroll you in a legitimate CRA resolution program. If you fall within this guarantee's conditions, you possess a contractual right to request a full refund. Document the exact terms of this guarantee from their website or email confirmation, as these terms become part of your binding contract with them.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel Taxrise within the statutory cooling-off period (10 to 14 days in most provinces) without penalty. If the cooling-off period has passed, you retain the right to dispute charges under the money-back guarantee if promised results were not delivered. You also retain the right to initiate a chargeback through your credit card issuer if Taxrise refuses to honour your cancellation request or refund claim.
Payment disputes and chargeback protection
If Taxrise refuses to refund or cancel, your credit card issuer and bank are obligated to investigate chargebacks and payment disputes. Under Canadian banking regulations and your card's consumer protection terms, you can initiate a dispute for unauthorized charges, non-delivery of promised services, or misrepresentation. This mechanism serves as a powerful backstop if direct cancellation fails.
How to cancel Taxrise: step-by-step methods
Your cancellation path depends on how you enrolled: through Apple App Store, Google Play, or directly on Taxrise's website or customer portal.
Method 1: cancel through the Taxrise account dashboard
- Log in to your Taxrise account using your email address and password
- Navigate to "Account Settings" or "Subscription Settings" in the dashboard menu
- Look for a "Cancel Service," "Manage Subscription," or "Billing" section
- Select "Cancel Subscription" or similar language
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation
- Do NOT select "Pause Service" unless you intend to resume later
- Read the final confirmation screen carefully to ensure you are cancelling, not downgrading
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation and note the date and confirmation number
- Save or print the confirmation email that Taxrise sends to your registered email address
Method 2: cancel via email (if dashboard cancellation is unavailable)
- Compose a formal email to Taxrise's customer support address (typically [email protected] or a similar domain)
- Include the following in your email:
- Your full name and account number (if available)
- Your registered email address
- The date you enrolled with Taxrise
- A clear, one-sentence statement: "I wish to cancel my Taxrise subscription effective immediately"
- Your request for a written confirmation of cancellation
- A request for confirmation that no further charges will be applied
- Send the email using a method that provides a read receipt or delivery confirmation
- Keep a copy of your sent email and any receipt of delivery
- Follow up within 5 business days if you do not receive a written confirmation
Method 3: cancel via phone call
- Locate Taxrise's customer service phone number on your account statement or their website
- Call during business hours and request the cancellation department
- Provide your full name, email address, and account number when prompted
- State clearly: "I want to cancel my Taxrise subscription"
- Listen carefully as the representative confirms cancellation details:
- The cancellation effective date
- Confirmation that no further billing will occur
- Any refund eligibility based on their money-back guarantee
- Request the representative's name and the call reference number
- Ask for an email confirmation sent to your registered address
- Write down the date, time, and representative's name immediately after the call
Method 4: cancel apple app store or google play subscriptions
If you enrolled through an app store, you must cancel through that platform's subscription management interface, not through Taxrise directly.
- For Apple App Store (iPhone/iPad):
- Open the Settings app
- Tap your name at the top of the screen
- Select "Subscriptions"
- Find "Taxrise" in the active subscriptions list
- Tap "Taxrise" and select "Cancel Subscription"
- Confirm the cancellation on the following screen
- For Google Play (Android):
- Open the Google Play Store app
- Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top left
- Select "Subscriptions"
- Find "Taxrise" and tap it
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and follow the prompts
- Confirm the cancellation
- Save a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation from the app store
- Email Taxrise directly to notify them of the app store cancellation, as app-based cancellations sometimes do not automatically sync to their backend systems
What happens after you cancel Taxrise
Understanding the post-cancellation timeline helps you verify that cancellation was processed correctly and monitor your account for unauthorized charges.
Immediate steps after cancellation
Within 24 hours of cancellation, check your email for a confirmation message from Taxrise. If no confirmation arrives, send a follow-up email or call customer support to request written proof of cancellation. Save this confirmation in a secure folder or take a photograph for your records.
Monitor your account for 30 to 60 days
Check your credit card or bank statement closely for the next 1 to 2 billing cycles. Taxrise's standard subscription cycle means charges typically process on the anniversary of your enrolment date. If you see a charge appear after your cancellation date, contact Taxrise immediately and provide your cancellation confirmation number. If they do not reverse the charge within 5 business days, initiate a chargeback with your credit card issuer.
Document everything for dispute resolution
Retain all cancellation confirmations, emails, screenshots, and bank statements indefinitely. If a dispute arises with Taxrise or your card issuer, this documentation proves you took timely action to cancel and that Taxrise continued billing without authorization.
Taxrise pricing and what you may be paying
Understanding Taxrise's fee structure helps you calculate your potential refund eligibility and assess whether their money-back guarantee applies to your situation.

Refund eligibility and how to claim your money back
Taxrise's advertised guarantee creates a contractual obligation to refund your fees under specific conditions.
When you qualify for a refund
You qualify for a refund if Taxrise failed to enroll you in a CRA-approved resolution program (such as a Proposal to Pay, Installment Agreement, or Voluntary Disclosure Program) within the promised timeframe. You also qualify if Taxrise's representation failed to achieve the promised debt reduction or relief. Review your original contract and email confirmation to determine the exact terms of your guarantee.
How to request a refund from Taxrise
- Send a formal email to Taxrise's refund department (typically [email protected] or [email protected])
- Include your account number, full name, and registered email
- Cite the specific language from Taxrise's guarantee that you believe applies to your situation
- Explain clearly why the promised result was not achieved
- Attach copies of your enrolment contract and any promises made by Taxrise
- Request a written response within 10 business days
- If Taxrise denies your refund claim, respond with a detailed explanation of why you believe the guarantee applies
- If Taxrise does not respond or refuses unreasonably, escalate to a chargeback with your credit card issuer
Chargeback as a refund backstop
If Taxrise ignores your refund request or provides an unsatisfactory response, contact your credit card issuer and request a chargeback for "services not rendered as promised" or "misrepresentation." Provide your cancellation confirmation, refund request emails, and contract terms. Your card issuer is required to investigate and, if evidence supports your claim, will reverse the charges within 30 to 90 days.
Common mistakes when cancelling Taxrise
Cancelling a service feels stressful, but avoiding these errors ensures your cancellation sticks and protects your right to a refund.
Mistake 1: confusing "pause" with "cancel"
Many subscription interfaces offer a "Pause Service" option that temporarily stops charges but keeps your account active. This is not cancellation. Pausing often resumes billing automatically after 30 or 90 days. Always select "Cancel" or "Terminate Subscription" explicitly.
Mistake 2: cancelling only through the app store without notifying Taxrise
Cancelling through Apple App Store or Google Play does not always notify Taxrise's backend billing system. Taxrise may continue to invoice you through a separate payment method. Always send a separate cancellation email to Taxrise directly, even if you cancelled through an app store.
Mistake 3: not requesting written confirmation
Phone cancellations carry risk because you have no written proof if a dispute arises. Always request and retain written email confirmation of your cancellation, including an effective date and confirmation that no further charges will be applied.
Mistake 4: failing to monitor your account after cancellation
Some companies process cancellations slowly or "accidentally" re-bill customers after cancellation. Check your account and statements for 60 days after cancellation to ensure Taxrise has truly stopped charging you.
Mistake 5: not keeping documentation
If a dispute arises, your cancellation confirmation email, the date you sent it, and your bank statements are your only evidence. Delete nothing. Save everything to a folder on your computer and take screenshots of important confirmations.
If Taxrise refuses to cancel or refund
If Taxrise ignores your cancellation request or wrongfully continues to charge you, you have escalation options grounded in Canadian consumer law.
Step 1: escalate internally within Taxrise
Send a formal letter (via email or registered mail) to Taxrise's management, copying your original cancellation request. Reference the specific consumer protection law that applies in your province and state that failure to honour your cancellation request within 5 business days will result in a chargeback and complaint to your provincial consumer protection authority.
Step 2: file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection agency
Each Canadian province operates a consumer protection office or ministry. File a formal complaint detailing your cancellation request, Taxrise's refusal, and any unauthorized charges. These agencies have enforcement power and can compel businesses to comply with consumer law. Yafee can help you identify the correct agency in your province and draft a complaint letter.
Step 3: initiate a chargeback with your credit card issuer
Contact your credit card company and request a chargeback for "services not rendered" or "unauthorized billing." Provide all cancellation documentation. Your issuer is obligated to investigate within 30 days and will likely reverse the charges in your favour.
Step 4: consider small claims court
If the amount is substantial (over $500), consult a consumer rights lawyer about filing a claim in small claims court. Many provinces allow unrepresented parties to file claims up to $15,000, and the filing fees are modest.
How to stay protected and avoid similar problems
After cancelling Taxrise, implement these safeguards to prevent enrolment in unsuitable services in the future.
Review your subscription portfolio
Audit all active subscriptions across email accounts, app stores, and bank statements. Cancel any service you do not actively use or recognize. Many consumers discover forgotten subscriptions charging $10 to $50 monthly.
Consult a licensed tax professional before hiring third-party services
Before enrolling in any tax resolution company, speak with a licensed accountant or tax lawyer covered by professional liability insurance. The CRA provides free consultations, and many accountants offer initial reviews at no cost. This step often saves far more than you spend on the consultation.
Use credit monitoring and set billing alerts
Activate billing alerts on your credit card so you receive a notification every time a charge is processed. This early-warning system catches unauthorized charges within hours rather than weeks.

Taxrise cancellation summary and next steps
Cancelling Taxrise is your legal right under Canadian consumer protection law, whether you enrolled within the 10-14 day cooling-off period or beyond it. You have multiple cancellation methods: account dashboard, email, phone, or app store, depending on how you enrolled. Yafee recommends pursuing cancellation through the dashboard or email first, as these create documented proof. If Taxrise refuses to cancel or continues billing, your credit card issuer stands ready to reverse charges through a chargeback mechanism.
Your money-back guarantee is a contractual obligation if promised results were not delivered. Document every communication, retain every confirmation, and monitor your account for 60 days after cancellation. If complications arise, your provincial consumer protection agency has enforcement power and can compel Taxrise to comply.
Tax matters are stressful enough without paying for services that do not deliver. Yafee has guided thousands of Canadian consumers through service cancellations and understands the anxiety that accompanies disputes with service providers. Take action today by sending your cancellation request, and take a screenshot of the confirmation. Your financial control is just one clear email away.
