It's up to whoever, but logging PIC is legal, appropriate, and a safe way when you are the pilot flying in a PC12, even if you are technically only an SIC.
If the FAA ever comes up with a interpretation that says the SIC time does not count (and this is a possibility), then I wouldn't want a few hundred hours wiped out just because I didn't log it correctly.
