Are accrued taxes current assets or current liabilities?

Of course, it is a liability because the company doesn't own the accrued taxes. It can use the money as long as it doesn't have to pay them. So, it represents quite cheap capital to invest in the short term. But that's also risky if something goes wrong. That said, I would classify it as a current liability because it's likely to have to be paid in less than a year.

Does a decrease in prepaid expenses increase cash flow?

No, it does not. You already paid for it. The cash involved is gone. Whatever was pre-paid has decreased in value as an asset. It's not a liability, equity, revenue, nor an expense. It would have to be an increase in another form of an asset. Accumulated depreciation is likely the asset that would increase.
