Hi
Unlike income tax which is deducted from utility bills, sales tax is not with holding in nature and thus can not be claimed. However business users can claim input only if they can prove that utility was used for business purpose. For example gas input can only be claimed by hotels and CNG stations. Electricity input sales tax can be claimed by all registered sales tax users and not even enrolled. Telephone GST can be deducted registered sales tax users if telephone is in name of business. For eaxact advise, please specify your nature of business and enrollment / registration status with sales tax.
