Because I know somebody who did a subscription in an app by 10 dollars and there wasn’t any tax, so when exactly will there be any taxes and is the amount constant?
A sales tax or value added tax (VAT) is required to be charged in many jurisdictions.
As this norm would seem unfamiliar to you, here is an introduction to the concept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_tax
If you are familiar with sales tax or value-added tax and questioning a particular transaction, here is how Apple applies that as and when required. The following image is extracted from Payment, Financing, Refunds and VAT - Shopping Help - Apple
If you have questions about a specific purchase, contact Apple Support, as they have access to your transactions and purchases and subscriptions history, and we do not.
And entirely coincidentally having just re-read the payment link, I hadn’t realized Apple has added a limit on the number of gift cards that can be applied to a single purchase; a maximum of eight.

You can check the invoice, it will look the same as the example invoice I provided.
Tax is always added to all Apple invoices for my purchases from Apple.
You can get support from Apple directly -> Get Support or call Apple in your region see -> Contact Apple for support and service for more information.
If you know your local tax rate, you can figure out the tax owed. Otherwise, it will be calculated for you. Based on the information you provided 44 cents tax on $4.99, your tax rate is somewhere around 8.75 percent (rounding).

Whether or not you are taxed, and the items in which you are taxed, vary by taxing authority.
And also another question if you don’t mind:
for what that tax exactly is? Is it as fees for any permanent purchase?

But how can this be done without any warning or pointing for the amount will be deducted
It's on your receipt. Why would you be "warned" about sales tax?
There isn’t any tax amount on the gift card receipt
Here an Apple invoice as example:
Sorry if I bothered you but what I need to know is how to know the amount of tax ( 0.44$ or whatever else) before going through any transaction
