What it means
This rule checks a non-empty scheme value on ram:SellerTaxRepresentativeTradeParty/ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration/ram:ID against the profile's tax registration scheme list. An empty string passes this test. It does not require the attribute or check the tax registration number itself.
Why it matters
The scheme distinguishes the type of tax registration, and VA for a VAT number is the only non-empty code allowed by this check.
How to fix it
Check which type of number you have entered for the tax representative. Correct schemeID on ram:ID inside ram:SpecifiedTaxRegistration under ram:SellerTaxRepresentativeTradeParty. Use VA for a VAT number. Export the file again and recheck it.
