Worked example. You live in York City (1.25% resident EIT) and earn $60,000. Working in York City, you pay $802 a year. Working in Chanceford Township (1% nonresident EIT, None LST), you pay $750: Earned Income Tax (resident rate, York City + York City School District) $750. Your resident rate is at least as high as Chanceford Township's nonresident rate, so your EIT does not change.
