Abstract: We consider the simplest non-trivial local composite operators in the massless Sine-Gordon model, which are $partia{l}_{m}uphi,partia{l}_{u}phi$ and the stress tensor $T_{muu}$. We show that even in the finite regime $$ of the theory, these operators need additional renormalisation (beyond the free-field normal-ordering) at each order in perturbation theory. We further prove convergence of the renormalised perturbative series for their expectation values, both in the Euclidean signature and in Minkowski space-time, and for the latter in an arbitrary Hadamard state. Lastly, we show that one must add a quantum correction (proportional to $hbar$) to the renormalised stress tensor to obtain a conserved quantity.
