You are partly wrong, the money from fines eventually flows into the overall EU budget, which is financed by contributions from member countries, so this contribution will be a bit lower, but this will not propagate into lower taxes for us.

Yeah, sorry if I was unclear, I didn't mean that residents would literally have a line item on their tax bill because of the fines. But since the fines go into the overall budget, it's like the budget grows (in a very small amount) without people having higher taxes.
