Use the index of the task in the v-for to decide which item to splice():

v-for="(task, index) in tasklist"

Your button:

<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger" @click="removeTask(index)">Delete</button>

And then simply:

removeTask: function(index) {
    this.tasklist.splice(index, 1);
}

removeTask: function(task){
    this.tasklist.splice(this.tasklist.indexOf(task), 1);
}

For Vue2 use delete. See API.

removeTask: function(index){
    this.$delete(this.tasklist, index)
}

You can use indexOf to get the current index from the array

remove: function (task){
      this.tasklist.splice(this.tasklist.indexOf(task),1);
    },
