Abstract
We reconsider the algebraic BRS renormalization of Witten's topologica l Yang-Mills field theory by making use of a vector supersymmetry Ward identity which improves the finiteness properties of the model. The v ector supersymmetric structure is a common feature of several topologi cal theories. The most general local counterterm is determined and is shown to be a trivial BRS coboundary.
