A simple, but important calc has sparked an interesting discussion: how does one derive the cash taxes or impled cash tax rate for the UFCF calc?
Any thoughts?

I had a question.
It would just be tax provision +/- change in deferred tax. Given that that you are looking at FCF on an unlevered basis, you would then need to eliminate the tax shield from any debt or interest income. This gets you your cash taxes paid as if the company was all-equity financed.
When project UFCF you need to remember that you would tax affect your EBIT by the current marginal tax rate (the %age taxes paid on the last dollar of taxable income) and not the firms effective tax rate (accrual taxes paid/accrual taxable income)
Yes that's right
