From the Home Office document that specifies the "good character" tests that are applied to people applying for asylum, refugee status, residency or citizenship. This is from the section on FPNs.

Receiving one does not form part of a person’s criminal record. A fixed penalty
notice will not normally result in refusal unless the person has failed to pay or has
unsuccessfully challenged the notice and there were subsequent criminal
proceedings resulting in a conviction. In such instances, they should be treated in
line with the sentence imposed by the court.
However, multiple fixed penalty notices over a short period of time could
demonstrate a disregard for the law and therefore demonstrate that someone is not
of good character.

Bankruptcies also need declared, and HMRC fines can also cause a world of bother.

Best to lie to a whole country, that's fine.

Its very murky in my memory, but I could have sworn that Johnson was fined for late payment some time around 2019.

Edit: Can't find a reference to that so perhaps I imagined it. Could have sworn there was a minor HMRC indiscretion quite early on. I might be mixed up with somebody else.
