Not paying taxes is a criminal matter, though. The fines being assessed are civil matters.

Fines are usually neither civil nor criminal, they are administrative matters.

If you park in a car park for too long but no one notices you can drive off and be totally fine. If you don't pay taxes someone could work it out and look in to history to catch you out.
