How to check that the a page uses a taxonomy in WordPress?

I need to edit a template's header.php file and I want to check if it has a taxonomy named "store". If so, then I need to extract it's tag_ID.

When I edit the page (it's not a WordPress Page type) I can see these values in the admin url:

taxonomy=store&tag_ID=720

So I know there is a way but I'm having trouble getting any good results. I tried the method detailed here to extract at least the tag_ID but I'm getting NULL:

$tag_id=get_query_var('tag_ID');
echo $tag_id; //NULL

Edit:

To be clear in regards to the tag_ID because it may be confusing, all I really want is to get the unique id of the requested page so I figure seeing first if it has a taxonomy named "store" and then getting the right one using the tag_id.

AS far as i understand your question, You should try this:-

$data = get_queried_object();

With this, you can get what page/post/taxonomy is being called.

Just print-out/var_dump this $data variable, you will get full object of page/post/taxonomy.

Hope this may help you.
