All three members of Sigur Rós have been investigated for and cleared of tax evasion, The Reykjavík Grapevine reports, citing Icelandic papers Fréttablaðið and Morgunblaðið. The investigation reportedly followed an inquiry from the Directorate of Tax Investigations in Iceland, with 800 million Icelandic krónur (roughly $8 million) worth of assets frozen. The band has now already paid back their tax debt.

The members of Sigur Rós denied that they were responsible, citing an error on the part of their accountant. The band’s Georg Holm told Morgunblaðið (translated by the Grapevine), “This was quite annoying and extremely costly for us.” He added, “We thought we had a good relationship with this accountant, we fully trusted him, but then it turned out he hadn’t handed in the right documents at the right time. This is nothing but a complete mess that we had no knowledge of until we were notified by the Commissioner.”

The Grapevine’s report claims that the majority of the 800 million Icelandic krónur frozen by the government came from assets belonging to vocalist Jónsi. They included “thirteen properties, two motorcycles, two cars, six bank accounts and shares in three companies for a total value of 638 million ISK (6.4 million USD).”
