BEIJING, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Chinese authorities have issued a circular to further cut costs for enterprises to help them tide over the COVID-19 pandemic.

The average costs of broadband for enterprises will fall by 15 percent this year, said the circular jointly issued by four government departments including the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance and the People's Bank of China.

The exemption policy for value-added tax will be extended to the end of this year, involving the sectors of public transportation, catering and accommodation, tourism and entertainment, culture and sports services, the circular said.
