Spouse Visa - Can I work as a sole trader?

[georgeb]

My wife is the second year of a spouse visa, married to myself a UK born citizen.
I understand my wife is allowed to work on this visa, but is she allowed to set up as a sole trader?
She would like to do some teaching.

Thank you

She is - don't forget to do it properly though - register with Inland Revenue etc.

Thank you for your reply.
That's put my mind at ease.
Yes everything will be done properly, tax returns etc.
