It's happened to me before. "You do that task so well. Why don't we make it part of your goals?" My former boss asked me. I hated that task and hated myself even more for not speaking up about it then. Don't make my mistake.

If you don't, people will expect you to fulfill those tasks or functions. Once you stop, those people will start an uproar and complain to your manager and others in the company.
