How do you pay taxes in Dune Awakening? If you don't want your base to go unprotected, you eventually have to pay your taxes to officials on Arrakis. You get a small grace period, even when you don't cough up the required Solaris on time, but if you want to avoid losing protection for your base and its contents, then we recommend being a good citizen and paying your taxes on time.
You'll need to know how to pay taxes in Dune Awakening, as well as exactly where you need to go to pay taxes in each major hub. For even more help in your adventures, check out our guides on how to get water in Dune Awakening, and how to build bases so your taxes don't go to waste on subpar builds.
To pay your taxes in Dune Awakening, you have to travel to the Arrakeen or Harko Village hubs, then speak with a Tax Collector. To get to these settlements, you can either hop in your own Ornithopter for a free ride, or take a Taxi Ornithopter from a Tradepost at the cost of Solaris.
Thankfully, the Ornithopter pilot won't ask for an additional payment if you're heading back to a Tradepost. So don't worry, you can't get stuck in a settlement even when you're out of Solaris!
The earliest Taxi Ornithopter is located at Griffin's Reach Tradepost in the middle of Hagga Basin South. Enter the Tradepost at the top of the cliff, then speak with the pilot in the northeastern corner of the room to travel to Arrakeen or Harko Village. Just make sure you have at least 2,500 Solaris in your inventory to cover the cost of the journey.
Also, remember that you need to take enough Solaris with you to pay your taxes! So bring your tax money, the cost of the Taxi, and spending money if you plan on splurging on new items or equipment at Arrakeen or Harko Village.
