Valuing S-Corporations

I was wondering if anybody had any experience valuing S-Corps through DCF valuation. Since an S-corp acts as a pass-through entity where the business doesn't pay taxes, but the indiviudal/owner's salary is taxed, would you even use a tax rate to calculate NOPAT in the DCF or to calculate After-tax cost of debt in WACC? Thanks in advance for the help.

How would you go about applying the premium for tax benefits and how much of a premium would you apply? Would you straight up deduct x% of the tax rate to make your NOPAT larger?
