UK cinema company Really Local Group has entered liquidation after eight years in operation.

Founded with the aim of regenerating high streets in underserved areas, the company sought to create inclusive third spaces built around cinema. Over eight years, Really Local Group launched five community venues across London, employed more than 700 local staff, paid out over £8m in wages, and sold around 1.5m cinema tickets.

Its venues transformed disused shops and nightclubs into affordable, multi-purpose community hubs co-designed with local residents. Each location offered a mix of cinema screens, live performance areas, café-bars, and flexible creative spaces.

The SA Revenue Service (Sars) will take on former Passenger Rail Agency of SA (Prasa) CEO Lucky Montana unopposed in the Pretoria high court, in a legal bid to attach his assets over a multimillion-rand tax debt.

The good news: student-loan forgiveness is back on. The bad news: borrowers who get it could face thousands of dollars in new taxes next year.

On Monday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren led a group of her Democratic colleagues in sending a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, exclusively viewed by Business Insider, calling on him to use his authority to prevent a “tax bomb” from hitting student-loan borrowers next year. The lawmakers are referring to a 2021 provision in the American Rescue plan that made student-loan forgiveness tax-free, and the provision is set to expire in January 2026.

It means that borrowers who complete their payments on income-driven repayment plans in 2026 could face thousands of dollars…
