What it means
For ram:ID inside ram:BuyerTaxRepresentativeTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration, this rule checks that the schemeID attribute exists. An empty attribute passes this presence check; its value is not checked here.
Why it matters
The attribute provides a place to identify the kind of tax registration number. This rule enforces its presence, not the correctness of the scheme or number.
How to fix it
Add schemeID to the relevant ram:ID in the buyer's tax representative's tax registration. Use schemeID="VA" for a VAT number or schemeID="FC" for a national tax number, as appropriate. Do not choose VA merely because it is common. Recheck your corrected file.
