Dentro del Pasivo (Liabilities) está el rubro "Obligaciones Diversas" que a su vez tiene los rubros "Remuneraciones y Retenciones a Pagar" e "Impuestos a Pagar ".
Estaría bien "Sundry Liabilities" o hay otro término mejor?

other payables / other liabilities
Barron's Dictionary of Accounting has this definition for "payable":
Amount owned to anoter party that is presented as a liability in the balance sheet. A payable is an item that is unpaid, whether or not due. If a payable is due in one year or less (e.f., accounts payable), it is a current liability. If it is to be paid in more than one year, it is shown as the "current portion" of a long-term debt or liability.
For reference, the term in Spanish used in Mexico in a case like this is "acreedores diversos" which is translated as "other payables". "Obligaciones diversas" and "Acreedores diversos" look like synonyms to me.
Hope this helps.
In my 19th year translating for Mexico City based accounting firms (90% of my clientele) and financial entities in general.

Another related term that always appears in financial statements is as follows:
español: acreedores diversos y otros pasivos
English: other payables and accrued liabilities
Suggestion: I would stay from both "sundry" and "miscellaneous" in accounting.
