Abstract: Renormalized gauge-invariant observables in gauge theories form an algebra which is obtained as the cohomology of the derivation $[extbf{Q}_L,-]$ with $extbf{Q}_L$ the renormalized interacting quantum BRST charge. For a large class of gauge theories in Lorentzian globally hyperbolic space-times, we derive an identity in renormalized perturbation theory which expresses the commutator $[extbf{Q}_L,-]$ in terms of a new nilpotent quantum BRST differential and a new quantum anti-bracket which differ from their classical counterparts by certain quantum corrections. This identity enables us to prove different manifestations of gauge symmetry preservation at the quantum level in a model-independent fashion.
