Why do social deductions increase after age 40 in Japan?

Upon reaching age 40, employees become covered by Long-Term Nursing Care Insurance (Kaigo Hoken), adding an additional nursing insurance surcharge of around 0.8% (employee half).

Are resident taxes deducted in your first year working in Japan?

Resident tax (Juminzei) is levied on the prior calendar year's income. New graduates or first-year foreign workers with zero prior Japanese income pay no resident tax until June of their second year.
