The taxes payable account affects cash flow from operating activities by reflecting the timing of tax payments. An increase in the taxes payable account indicates that a company has accrued tax liabilities without yet making cash payments, which effectively boosts cash flow from operating activities in the short term. Conversely, a decrease in the taxes payable account suggests that the company has paid down its tax liabilities, resulting in a reduction of cash flow from operating activities. Therefore, changes in this account can significantly influence the reported cash flow for the year.

Depreciation itself does not affect cash flow. After all, depreciation is a noncash entry that reflects the reduction in value of a long-lived asset. It has no direct cash flow effects. However, because depreciation is tax-deductible, it can reduce a company's tax provision. Therefore, to the extent that depreciation reduces taxes, it provides a cash flow benefit. To compute the benefit in any given year, multiply the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) depreciation on the asset by the company's marginal tax rate.
