About this shop
Small useful things is a one-person shop in the UK. Everything here is made to be printed or filled in at home, and the tax and allowance figures in the guides and tools are checked against GOV.UK, with the sources listed.
Payments go through Gumroad, so your card details never reach this site. You get the download straight away and it’s yours to keep.
Refunds: if a download doesn’t work or isn’t what its page described, reply to your Gumroad receipt email within 14 days and you’ll get your money back.
The free tools are a guide, not advice, and are not connected to the DWP or HMRC.
