Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak will be fined by police for breaking the law by attending lockdown-flouting parties.
Downing Street confirmed that the Prime Minister and the Chancellor had been notified by the Metropolitan Police to expect Partygate penalties.
The Prime Minister's wife Carrie has also been told she will receive a fixed penalty notice from officers investigating the scandal, her spokeswoman said.
It is not clear yet which of the parties have resulted in fines.
Scotland Yard is probing 12 rule-breaking events in Downing Street and Whitehall after the Mirror led the way in reporting a string of rule-breaking parties during the pandemic.
The Met announced 30 additional fines would be handed out to law-breakers, bringing the total number of Partygate penalties to 50.
The latest tranche includes the PM, his wife Carrie and the Chancellor - despite their repeated denials that any rules were broken.
The extraordinary development means Mr Johnson is the first sitting Prime Minister in history to have broken the law.
It also comes at a terrible time for Mr Sunak, who is fighting to save his political career after it emerged that his heiress wife Akshata Murty had non-dom tax status.
These are the events the PM and the Chancellor are believed to have attended.

May 20 2020: BYOB garden party at Downing Street
The PM’s top aide Martin Reynolds invited 100 No10 staff to “make the most of the lovely weather ” and “bring your own booze" in a leaked email.
Boris Johnson later admitted spending 25 minutes at the party, claiming he thought it was a work event.
Some 40 guests mingled outside with long tables laden with drink, crisps, sausage rolls and other picnic food. Sources branded it "a proper booze-up.”
Just 55 minutes earlier, Cabinet Minister Oliver Dowden told a press conference: “You can meet one person outside of your household in an outdoor, public place - provided that you stay two metres apart".
Mr Reynolds told the PM in February that he would stand down from his post amid an exodus of top staff caught up in the Partygate row.
June 19 2020: Boris Johnson's birthday
Downing Street has admitted staff "gathered briefly" in the Cabinet Room at a surprise birthday celebration for the Prime Minister organised by his wife.
More than 30 officials gathered for the PM's birthday bash in the Cabinet Room for up to half an hour in the afternoon, according to ITV News.
Mrs Johnson led the staff in a chorus of happy birthday while the PM was presented with a cake, before tucking into picnic food from M&S.
Rishi Sunak admitted he was also in the room but claimed he was there for a Covid meeting.
He told the BBC : "You’re asking me about something that happened almost two years ago. I went to that Cabinet Room, as I did many other times for Covid meetings."
Lulu Lytle, the interior designer behind lavish renovations of the Downing Street flat, also briefly attended.
Later that evening, the PM and his wife were said to have hosted family friends in their residence upstairs in an apparent further breach of the rules. Downing Street denied these claims - saying the PM hosted a small number of family members outside instead.
A No 10 spokesman said: "A group of staff working in No 10 that day gathered briefly in the Cabinet Room after a meeting to wish the Prime Minister a happy birthday. He was there for less than ten minutes.”
November 13 2020: Downing Street flat do
The most dangerous allegations facing the PM are claims of parties in the flat he shares with his wife Carrie above No 11 Downing Street.
Downing Street and Mrs Johnson have always denied this.
But sources told the Mirror that No10 aides “drank their socks off" at an alleged gathering on November 13 - the night Mr Cummings left.
Staff reported hearing "loud music pumping out of the flat" late into the night, which could reportedly be heard from nearby St James' Park.
The Mail on Sunday even described it at the time as a “victory party” celebrating the departure of Mr Cummings - a rival of Mrs Johnson's - and said Abba's 'The Winner Takes it All' could be heard playing.
Mr Cummings has claimed there was a party in the flat on November 13 and “other flat parties” that should be investigated.
A spokeswoman for Mrs Johnson dismissed the claims as "total nonsense”, adding: "Mrs Johnson has followed coronavirus rules at all times and it is categorically untrue to suggest otherwise.”
England was in a national lockdown and that day the UK recorded 436 Covid deaths - the second-highest daily total since May.

Sources told the Mirror a relatively small number of people gathered for drinks in No10’s ‘round table room’ to mark two top aides’ departure.
Mr Cain posed for a picture alongside Mr Johnson that night with the pair donning “Get Brexit Done” boxing gloves.
The PM gave a “shambolic” speech at the low-key affair, with everyone gone by about 9pm, sources suggested.

The Ministry of Defence declined to comment.

Police might investigate this event
December 15 2020: No 10 online Christmas quiz
The PM was pictured hosting a virtual Christmas quiz, with two staff by his side, as officials huddled around computers in Downing Street while enjoying drinks bought at a local Tesco Metro, sources told the Mirror.
London was then under Tier 2 regulations banning social mixing between households.
Official guidance also stated: “You must not have a work Christmas lunch or party, where that is a primarily social activity and is not otherwise permitted by the rules in your tier.”
The Met initially said it was not investigating this event.
But the force announced it was reviewing its decision after the Mirror publish another bombshell picture from the event.
The image shows Mr Johnson and staff preparing for the quiz, with an open bottle of bubbly and a bag of crisps visible in the shot.
The force said: "The Met previously assessed this event and determined that on the basis of the evidence available at that time, it did not meet the threshold for criminal investigation.
"That assessment is now being reviewed."
