Your post is confusing... capex isn't even an income statement line item.
Just calculate taxable income (book) as EBIT - Interest, then apply the effective tax rate on that total amount to get book taxes. Marginal tax rate is only on next dollar basis.
The above is GAAP so get to cash taxes you need to add-back D&A that wasn't tax deductible as well as other non-recurring adjustments that weren't tax deductible to get the cash tax basis and then apply the tax rate to get cash taxes.
