There are two options available with You:-
1. Either take the credit of input tax on the goods purchased and then avail such credit against goods that will be sold after the said restaurant construction. In this case you will have to carry forward the credit to the next period by filing VAT returns.
2. Or you can simply add the value of VAT levied on the goods purchased to their cost and capitalise them and claim depreciation upon them.
