Yes, you can claim the VAT credit for capital goods. However, as per section 9(9) of DVAT Act, 2004, the VAT credit in respect of capital goods shall be allowed as follows:-
1/3rd of the input tax( VAT credit) shall be allowed in the same tax period.
Remaining 2/3rd of the VAT credit shall be allowed in equal proportion in two immediately successive financial year.
For depreciation purpose, we would not capitalise the amount to the extent related to the VAT credit for which we could claim the benefit of credit. As as per the income tax act, the depreciation can not be claimed on the part of the amount paid as tax at the time of purchase for which we can claim credit.
