You don't need to work if you don't want to, but your husband needs to be exercsing his treaty rights, which he is by studying and / or working.

By avading tax on your earnings you are risking your immigration status. Be careful.

You are, of course, registered with the Inland Revenue as a self-employed person, paying National Insurance, and doing your tax returns, so that you aren't criminally avoiding tax?

Then there is no problem!
