02 January 2014 Your client will be liable for the entire service tax liability.
To avail the benefit of notification, Service Provider must fulfilled the definition stated in the notification.SP is defined in the following manner :
Where service is provided or agreed to be provided by
1) Any individual or
2) HUF or
3) Proprietary Firm or
4) Partnership Firm whether registered or not or
5) including Association

to
1) any company registered under Cos Act, 1956 or
2) any business entity registered as body corporate ( Including LLP).

Since your Client does not comes under the definition of partial reverse charge mechanism, hence your client will be liable for the 100% service Tax.
