On December 31, 2021, NextPoint Financial Inc. (TSX: NPF.U) (OTC Pink: NACQF) announced that it had acquired Community Tax LLC for approximately US$90 million in cash and stock, subject to certain closing adjustments.

The purchase was funded with US$70 million in borrowings under a new credit facility entered into by a newly formed subsidiary of NextPoint which holds all the equity interests of Community Tax.
