auto ownership

[CL7]

I bought a car for business use last December & paid up to 80% of the price. I finished paying the car loan this March. Should I report owning the car this March or last December?

Please advise. Thanks!

You would start reporting the vehicle in December of last year when you bought the vehicle. When you take on the loan, you are considered to have paid for the vehicle.
