The issue here is your probably grabbing the value name rather then the value’s value if that makes sense.
Here’s how I would do it.

game.ReplicatedStorage.Citation.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	local plrgui = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
	local cash = plrgui:WaitForChild("Info"):WaitForChild("Background").money.Cash
	local fineamount = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Fine")
	
	cash.Value = cash.Value - fineamount.Value.Value -- Is fineamount a texlabel, or a value?
	print(cash.Value)
end)

Is fineamount a object value? Make sure it is. Also, where is the button located? Can you show me our explorer?
