The tourist tax for ESTA visa waiver visitors to USA has been confirmed to start September 08 (source: Travel Weekly). When the tourist tax (application fee for ESTA visa waiver) was previously announced it was going to be US$10 but even before implementation it has been increased to US$14 as an unavoidable admin fee of US$4 has been added.
The legislation allowing this charge calls it travel promotion (see news release), but it is really a visa in drag.

The ESTA application remains valid for multiple years. If you plan to go the the USA in the coming years you should get your ESTA now before September!
The Global Traveller said,
An ESTA approval will normally last for 2 years, or earlier if your passport expires sooner.
