Free cash flow to firm

SSaimon7y ago
Sir I have a confusion in tax computation that we calculate in computation free cash flow to firm or equity My confusion is should i consider interest cost for tax calculation to use it in FCFF or should i ignore it and calculate tax on profit before interest.

For FCFF you ignore interest and the tax saving on the interest (so yes - calculate tax on the profit before interest).

What should i do in case of FCFE? (Meaning Should i consider interest for tax computation or should i ignore it???)

With FCFE you take the cash flow after interest and after the tax saving on the interest. i.e. the cash left for shareholders.
