There is no limit to the amount the Crown Court can fine, but the amount will take into account the seriousness of the offence and the offender's ability to pay.
See. https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/explanatory-material/magistrates-court/Pay a court fine online:
https://www.gov.uk/pay-court-fine-onlineFor the purpose of the offence guidelines, a fine is usually based on one of three bands (A, B or C). The selection of the relevant fine band, and the position of the individual offence within that band, is determined by the seriousness of the offence. In some cases fine bands D - F may be used even where the community or custody threshold have been passed.
