HMRC publishes annual statistics on funds raised through the Social Investment Tax Relief (SITR) scheme. The latest release is on GOV.UK at

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/enterprise-investment-scheme-seed-enterprise-investment-scheme-and-social-investment-tax-relief-statistics-may-2018

From the introduction of SITR in 2014-15, up to 2016-17, the annual costs of the relief are estimated to have been less than £5 million per year. Data for 2017-18 onwards are not yet available.
