How do tax influence the cost of debt and equity

How do tax considerations influence the cost of debt and equity?

Since interest on debt is tax deductible to the issuing firm, the higher the tax rate the lower the after tax cost of debt financing.  Considerations of tax do not enter in the cost of equity calculation as dividends paid to stockholders are not tax deductible to the firm.
