Tax code question

in Cutting tax
Apologies if this belongs in a more relevant forum.
I received a letter from HMRC stating that my tax code should be S536T on all wage slips and that I should contact them if this is not the case. My wage slips have 536T but no S at the start. Should I contact them or does the letter not make any difference?
Thanks

The S prefix is for the Scottish rate of tax. It is not drastically important at the moment but if the Scottish Government do implement different rates it could cause problems. I would speak to your employer and ask why they are not using the S prefix - both my pay slips show it.0
