To calculate the NPV, should i use PAT (PBIT – interest – tax) or PBIT?

You have to use the relevant cash flows:
After tax, but before interest or any tax relief on interest.
Before interest because NPV never takes interest flows into account: the act of discounting is like doing interest in reverse.
