German term or phrase: Abweichende Zuständigkeiten
Ich lese eine Bescheinigung in Steuersachen Korrektur.

Hier wird unter anderem über gestundete Steuerbeträge, das Zahlungsverhalten in den letzten 12 Monaten und Steuerstrafen berichtet.

Ganz unten, unter dem Punkt "Sonstiges":

[] Neugründung

Es liegen folgende **abweichende Zuständigkeiten** vor:
[] esonderte Feststellung nach § 180 Abs. 1 Nr. 2 Buchst. b AO
[] umsatzsteuerliche Organschaft

Nun wurde dies hier mit "extenuating circumstances" übersetzt, wovon ich sicher bin, dass es falsch ist. Der Übersetzer hat hier wohl "abschwächend" gelesen und hat hier "mildernde Umstände" übersetzt.

Ich kann mir hierunter leider nichts vorstellen, und traue mich nicht, einfach "deviating circumstances" zu schreiben.

Kann mir hier jemand weiterhelfen?

Danke im Voraus!

responsibilities deviating from the norm


Explanation:
I also think you are right in thinking this is an erroneous reading of the text.

I would say that in the case of reorganising a company, or re-founding it, responsibilities within the taxation legislation may well be different from a simple company formation. Hence I would suggest that the heading is translated:

"Responsibilities vary from the norm(al case) as follows:"

as an idea you may wish to work on.

separate (local) jurisdiction


Explanation:
Perhaps, this means these cases don't fall under the subject-matter jurisdiction of the issuing tax office but under separate (local) jurisdiction:

Es liegen folgende **abweichende Zuständigkeiten** vor = In the following instances, local jurisdiction applies.

"Section 18
Separate determination
(1) The following shall have local jurisdiction with regard to separate determination pursuant to section 180:...." http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_ao/englisch_ao.ht...

agree  tblade: Still believe "jurisdiction"(~Zuständigkeit) is most appropriate. Michael Martin's answer seems more well-founded than what I was able to find.
