Officially the date of manufacturer is the year in which the airworthiness certificate is issued.
i.e. That would be 2010.

Correct. Up until the airworthiness certicate is issued, you don't have an "airplane", you have a (choose one: "hobby that is out of control", "mental illness", "passion", "alternate lifestyle") that is legally nothing more than a pile of aluminum scrap.

Re: What year is my finished plane?
I got a chuckle when I read your question. I ask the same question to the local
tax folks and the reply was, " good question sir, exactly what year did you finish your airplane"? Duh. Dan

Oddly, the tax folk don't like to hear that I haven't finished yet. "Sir, you have your airworthiness certificate. It's finished." "Airworthy ain'tn't done. Just means most of it will arrive at the landing, including me. Most time's, anyway." (Paraphrasing something one of my uncles used to argue with the 'revenooers', not aircraft related.)
